Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad—cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land. As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer—so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.

At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:

"I wish they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone."

"They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathized.

They spoke no more until camp was made.

Explanation:

As we know, when it comes to literature, an antagonist is usually a character that opposes the main character (the protagonist). That definition is a bit too simple, though. An antagonist can be anything that offers some sort of conflict or hostility, maybe a challenge for the main characters.

In the excerpt we are studying here - taken from Jack London's "White Fang"-, we clearly have a conflict of Man vs. Nature. The characters are in a most inhospitable place where the cold itself already poses a terrible threat. But, in this particular part of the story there is something disturbing the sled dogs, creating even more conflict and difficulties for the characters to face. The disturbance is caused by the hunting-cries they can hear coming closer from "right and left and rear". The characters have a hard time controlling the dogs, and even complain that the cries are getting on their nerves. They wish the men who are hunting would go somewhere else and leave them alone.

brutus overlooks that the majority of the crowd served julius caesar the military general. he appeals to their citizenship as romans by calling them first by that name in his salutation: "romans, countrymen, lovers." mark antony, however, speaks in terms understood by the military, by calling them first by, "friends, romans, countrymen." he recalls not only caesar the general but caesar the friend, whose body they see covered with stab wounds.
